Off to Moab

Breakfast

Finishing breakfast, we are packing up and heading to Moab, Utah. If all goes well, we should be there in about six hours.

Packing up is a stinker

Once there we have to check in at Adrift Adventures right outside Arches National Park. Tomorrow morning we are taking a rafting trip down Westwater Canyon ... "A serene solitude surrounded by red sandstone spires." Along the way we will experience the fast and furious rapids such as Funnel Falls, Last Chance, The Steps and the infamous Skull Rapid. I don't care for the name of that last rapid. Not one bit. It should be a highly exciting raft trip down the Colorado River.

﻿﻿
﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿The number of people allowed to run the Westwater Canyon is strictly regulated, therefore, keeping the number of people on the river to a very small amount. This will allow for a better chance of seeing wildlife and just experiencing the true remoteness of the Weswater Canyon.

﻿﻿

I'm a bit nervous about all this, along with the fact there is a chance of thunderstorms, but feel better knowing that we will be wearing Coast Guard approved life jackets as we ride down the Level 3 and 4 rapids. All we can do is hang on. Tight. And we are off! Until, next time .... Peace, Love and Keep the Balance!

In Life, Balance is Everything!

Hop on!

Riding a unicycle is like life. To be successful and enjoy the ride, they both require tremendous balance and focus. I sit up tall, shoulders back and imagine I am holding one of my young boys under each arm. My best-friend-techie-husband’s hand on my seat (hubba, hubba) to guide me, and my two wiener dogs running alongside, looking like double Dumbos. As I train to ride Blanche, my unicycle, in a half-marathon, I think how good God is as the breeze blows my brown hair, a big smile on my face. Come along for a thrilling one-wheel ride while I do my best to maintain balance... but keep an open mind, there is always something new to learn!
